Our outreach with Mozilla products
We have an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through our products, services, and platforms.
Product @ Mozilla Summit 2021
The Mozilla product community came together for our first Product Summit to explore the theme of “Aligning our efforts to meaningfully impact the world through our products”. The summit kicked off with a keynote talk from Roberto Verganti, author of Overcrowded: Designing Meaningful Products in a World Awash with Ideas. Five prepared talks by members of the product community covered themes such as ethics, delivering impact, aligning efforts, and product management career development. The event concluded with two panels, including a Women In Product panel with senior leaders sharing their experiences with career development, impostor experience, relationship building, and delivering impact. Strong, positive feedback from the post-event survey indicated we should have more events like this in the future. In response, the product community will now have quarterly mini summits to discuss how to make Mozilla’s product development and practices more inclusive, accessible, and collaborative. This summit is an example of the many ways Mozilla employees think critically about how our products impact the world and how to support one another in that endeavor.
